on cheesy food...

Me to oldest son, Luke: So I hear you called your grandmother, your aunt and your dad to find out how to cook the roast in your new crockpot.

Luke: Yeah. They were a big help.

Me: But you never called me!

Luke: So?

Me: So, I cook!

Luke: Yeah, and if I ever want to cook something with cheese on it, I'll call you.

(I would have smacked him, but he had a point.)

Carl took a pan of excellent baked potato casserole he'd made out of the refrigerator; he and Luke were going to eat the left-overs. I was sitting in my office, which has a door open to the kitchen so I can see what they're doing.

Luke pulled off the lid and they both looked at it with a little shock.

Carl: I see your mom has been eating the potatoes. She ate all the tops where the cheese was.

Luke sees me giving Carl the death-glare.

Luke, to me: What? Why are you annoyed he said that?

Me: Well it's not like I did it on purpose.

(Luke cracks up. I realized what I've said and I'm not sure if I can come up with a rational justification for why the cheesy tops are gone since I have been the only one home, so I opt for shutting up.)

Carl: That's okay. We'll just put more cheese on them.

Me: Um, we're out of cheese.

Luke: Imagine that.

There is no such thing as 'too much cheese' :P

I laughed until I peed. That's funny stuff.

That was soooo funny! It sounds like something my mom would have done. I have come to understand that she really doesn't realize what she is doing.

Yeah, that whole "I laughed until I peed" thing is a wee bit contagious.

You, woman, are a RIOT! I *love* you!

Cheese is the ambrosia of the gods, by the way.

Food without cheese is not food indeed.

How could you run out of cheese? I can't even understand how that would happen, but of course I am a "cheesehead".

There is nothing finer than cheese on anything...anything at all , well with the exception of Ice cream and brownies, but even then, cream cheese in brownies is indescribable......
